I Almost Became An Amputee 

Only techno would immediately think of jokes after hearing he had to remove an arm

stay safe legend techno...

"I now have 99.9% less cancer than I used to" That made feel hopeful at the time, Sad that the 0.1% left is what took him down Rest easy, King

"Having two arms is convenient, I'd like to continue this trend." I really do enjoy his humor.

“having two arms is pretty convenient, i’d like to continue this trend” - Techno, 2021

Doc: "We might have to amputate your arm." Techno: "Lemme take a moment." *Furiously writes down jokes about being an amputee*

This shit is kinda haunting rewatching it cuz I wasn't even scared after watching this originally but now it's just insane how he could have kept so positive.

Hearing it now, it was definitely too late for techno. He sounds so normal and positive like he usually does, making jokes every once in a while. I didn’t understand it before, but since Techno’s doctor said it would make no difference whether he amputated the arm or not means that the cancer had already spread past the arm… I could’ve never prepared myself for what had happened to Techno.

I just love that Techno's plan if he got his arm off was to just screw with everyone. Truely someone to aspire to be like.

Techno, after having his body practically taken apart bit by bit: "God felt the need to nerf me and honestly, I don't blame him for trying."

On Reddit his father said that the surgeon advised him against the amputation so he could have a better life in the 6-12 months he had left

As I rewatch I start to realize just how screwed he was since the beginning. Things were not getting better, he was just treating them so lightly with us that we thought they were.

Only Technoblade would laugh maniacally at the line "I was gonna traumatize millions".

“Would amputating my arm increases my survival odds” DOC: *THATS THE NEAT PART, IT WONT*

It’s sad to know that this entire video he was telling us he was doing ok but the truth was he knew probably from the very beginning he was going to pass on. I also can’t believe how strong he was to sit there and laugh about it, the man literally joked about his own death. A year and a bit on he is still a legend and will always be the king of Minecraft. And no matter what happens…technoblade….never….dies!

The fact that he knew he was going to die and just accepted it and continued to act so positively and act like it’s nothing really shows what kind of a person technoblade is. Rest In Peace.

Can’t wait for him to say “Cancer couldn’t beat me, YOU really think YOU can?”

Best wishes go out to Techno. Also, 4:23 was too hilarious to not mention

I thought he was getting better, rewatching this almost after a year, feels terrible to remember myself getting my hopes up and now…

The joy in his voice. At this point they were telling him he wasn't going to survive. He knew it, I feel so bad that he didn't tell us.

Techno: almost gets his arm amputated Also techno: thinking about the jokes he'll tell about it

Doctor: "we may have to amputate your arm" Techno: *imagines all the one arm related jokes he could make*

I don’t know who will read this but I have to get this off my chest. My mom was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and just seeing Techno be so nonchalant about it just gives me a spec of hope for my mom. Thank you Techno’s family for being so strong. Technoblade never dies.

The thing that hurts me the most is the fact he said he was fine. He said it was all going to be okay. He knew it wasn’t going to get better. He lied to us to protect us. And that was probably one of the best gifts he could have given us. He gave us hope. Was it false? Yeah, sure it was. But it was stil hope, and for that I’m grateful. It shows how much this man cared for his fan base. He was one of the best content creators that has ever walked the earth. So long, technoblade. We may be nerds. But we are loyal nerds. And we will never forget you. ❤️

Techno’s doctor is the type of person to look at an arm and ask: “Is anyone gonna amputate that?” And almost not wait for an answer

Now when techno says "I'm just built different" he means it literally

Looking back on what was actually going on, Techno _must_ have known how screwed he was. He was only making seem so lighthearted to make us feel better. Even in the final stage of his life, he didn't want us to worry.

They always said "when pigs fly" but he flew higher then we ever did. Fly high, rest in peace

I caaaaannn't dude, the day techno doesn't make a joke about a serious illness is the day the entire planet collapses. Love you Techno, glad you're better and fingers crossed for a quick recovery

"I almost lost my arm, anyway buy my merch!" Lol Its great how Techno can still be happy and funny while he is going through this situation. Get better soon.

Watching this video now hits like a 18 wheeler Truck. Rest well Techno you've gotta defeat the big guy and Conquer the heaven. Miss you Technoblade 👑🐷❤

What a true man. He’s humor, his optimism, he maintains every bit of them even facing death door. I don’t even know this guy before, I’m only here for the morbid curiosity. Now I’m left ashamed of myself and amazed by this man. I thought I’m so jaded that nothing can engage my soul anymore but listening to him truly inspires me. If there is afterlife, when the day come I will go find your spirit there and tell you how awesome you are.

Bro techno takes the phrase “look at the positives” to another level. He found every positive possible to having *cancer* it’s either techno has the mental of a soldier or his story telling is really really good. Long live techno,he never dies.

Techno is literally laughing about his arm getting amputated, never did I see someone be so happy about such things, respect

the only man who truly laughs in the face of death. rest in peace, Technoblade

"The elbow reveal was not meant to be", omfg I am about to start crying. I heard of techno and watched maybe 5 vids then I went back to my closed ring of tuber. Since his death I have been barely watching my ring and watching ANYTHING that might be interesting becasue you never know what you will find. But I am glad that the elbow reveal DID happen, even after his passing. Technoblade never dies.

"Dude, wake up. YOU NEED TO TAKE YOUR SLEEPING PILLS" I can'tttt- this man is peak comedy

"Technoblade's the only one that can save us from the Dream Team" “Bro I ain’t even gonna have 2 arms” Then, it is a fair fight.

Rewatching these really makes me think what could’ve been. He felt pain but waited a few days before seeking medical attention His major arm surgery was delayed by 10 days. Then TWO weeks because the plastic surgeons were “busy.” Time matters in these scenarios

Coming back almost a year after his passing, every video just hits so different now and every moment is worth so much , we take the things we have for granted until they are gone, it felt so strange to laugh at this video again yet ina good way it reminded me of all the joy Techo brought while he was with us, Rest In Peace Technoblade King Of Minecraft

"WAKE UP, you've got to take your SLEEPING PILLS!" The amount of sheer irony in that sentence. I wish you feel better soon, being in a wheelchair sucks (from experience), steps and badly constructed ramps are mortal enemies.

the *"well why would anyone do that"* ACTUALLY made me spit my water out, it's so amazing to see how he hasn't let this change his outlook. Much love, Techno.

A year and 2 months after hes gone, he still manages to make me smile and laugh in a video about literal cancer. You were a blessing to this world techno.

he was the one going through everything and yet he still hoped it wasn't too heavy for US, that is some dedication to his fans mental wellbeing. Rest easy king! (also his alternate plan for the amputation is hilariously morbid)

Can we just say how calm he is about the entire situation? He's acting like he scraped his knee.

As a one-armed person, the "If You're Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands" song kills me. I wouldn't clap my hands and other people would ask me why I wasn't happy. Anyways, glad Techno didn't lose his hand!

The fact that he was able to keep his sense of humor and make legitimately HILARIOUS jokes about something that must have been so utterly terrifying is one of the most honorable and special things I've ever seen. A true inspiration of a human being... Technoblade never dies.

6 months. I'm crying. Again. He didn't want for us to worry about him, and he did it right. We haven't worried about him. It's so surreal.

"Having two arms is convenient. I would like to continue this trend" Good luck Techno! Stay strong!

Technoblade is the kinda guy who tell jokes while having cancer, and ask "is anyone gonna laugh at that" and not wait for an answer.

Watching this made me cry rest in peace.

man, it still hits me how i can walk away from this video feeling goddamn inspired, hopeful for a man who is already gone. i mean really, how many people have this much charisma in absolutely any situation including the extremely scary ones? holy hell, what a completely overpowered perspective and attitude about life this guy had.

It still hasn't completely kicked in yet. He always made light of everything, even in times as dark as these.. May you rest easy Techno, my condolences to your family.

Absolute legend, Wishing you a healthy recovery bro

never watched Technoblade growing up but decided to watch this video after seeing the tribute video, and damn. How do I explain this, what he's talking about is so serious but he was so comedic about it that as he's talking about losing a bone and how people should be embarassed about having 206 I actually teared up smiling. Wish I could have been one of his viewers growing up

Technoblade's *"it is what it is"* postivive attitude is so under-rated. Not many youtubers are *this* level of chill, let alone when it comes to life changing traumatic events.

Only techno would joke about himself having cancer and loosing his arms. This is what makes him amazing

He fought to the end. He might not have won, but he built an amazing community along the way. Rest easy techno.

He took it so lightly, he shouldn't have gone away Rest well Technoblade because YOU HAVE TO CONQUER THE HEAVEN o7

"man he has quads" glad to see this man having his sense of humour even through this devastation of a thing (gws)

"You guys still have 206 bones? And you're not embarrassed?" - Technoblade, the guy who makes fun of his cancer while telling the story of how his doctors almost chopped his arm off

Had this playing in the background while I was playing minecraft, and at 2:22, lighting started striking everywhere. It just makes this hit harder. RIP Techno

6:52 omg this had me cracking up!! The positivity he had during all of this is mind blowing!!

Edit: Guys I am well aware that this didn't age well can you quit making me feel bad about myself and not fill my reply section with the same thing?!

Techno: “I actually have to edit this video with one arm, Which is a bit of a spoiler for the rest of the video” Title:

It seemed like everything was going to be ok. His strength throughout is admirable. The surprise only made the news worse. Watching this I had a bitter taste in my mouth but I know he's in a better place now and he died fighting. Regards to the Technoblade family. Fly high, King. TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES

"See you all next time" hits so hard when i heard that and all the good news it thought he had it in the bag like not dying to cancer but next thing we know yee so long techno thank you for everything that u have done and fly high king

“10 million subscriber elbow reveal” I’m actually crying with laughter, Techno’s immediate thought were “how can I traumatised my viewers” and “how can I monetise my arm being amputated”, and I’m ugly laugh-crying. I’m really glad you’re okay and recovering nicely, but I absolutely adore how dramatic and hilarious you are and I’m really glad you haven’t lost your sense of humour

Can’t wait for techno to say, "Cancer couldn't beat me, and you think YOU can?”

I think Alex knew at this point that he was not gonna make it. But his incredible wit made us all laugh. Technoblade will truly never die. o7

God I remember freaking out to my friends and crying when this came out, but they reassured me that it would be fine and I believed so as well. Sad things aside, thank you for all you've done!

"Technoblade never dies." we said. Life is testing this man out of spite. edit: I support techno, this wasn't a mean spirited comment. Leave Mello alone.

This dude takes having a major tumor like it’s not serious. Just shows how happy of a person he truly is regardless of the situation. Get better bro!

over time I went from denial to gradually increasing sadness and for the first time I cried when the mcc footage went on, knowing im never gonna see technoblade in mcc ever again. rip

I started rewatching some of technos old videos recently. It kind of hit me again that he’s actually gone. He’s not just taking a break or didn’t just quit RU-vid. He’s gone. He was and still is a big part of the minecraft community in general and will forever be missed

Doctor: “We’re gonna need to have a difficult conversation” Techno: *googling how to play Minecraft with feet*

[Insert person]: "did you got the cancer removed?" Techno: "Yes" [Insert Person]: "What did it cost?" Techno: *"My Quadriceps and a Bone"*

I miss you techno. So much. You made so many people happy, smile a lot, and I really miss seeing content from you. I appreciate how hard you worked on the videos and how much fun you had. It was almost a therapy. I hope you’re resting easy, I keep coming back thinking you’ll post again.

the fact that he was positive even though he had cancer was something truly amazing. though you are not here with us no more you will still be remembered in our hearts. I am so coming back to this years time! Maybe even show my grand kids this as a reminder to smile even in the darkest times

This man is actually a legend. He's gone through so much and he's still laughing and joking throughout, we love you techno

Good thing that Techno gets to keep his arm. Would have been terrifying if Techno gets a prostetic arm that does 20 CPS per finger.

What really bums me is the fact that no more than 4 months after this video was made, Techno passed. What a damn legend. Techno blade never dies.

He was so brave. Love you forever Techno.

“Wake up, you need to take your sleeping pills” best quote I’ve ever heard

i don't know how you can stay so positive during such a painful period. you're amazing man im glad you're back and doing well

Watching this after he died made me so sad, if I saw this when it was uploaded I would've been really hopeful for his survival, but unfortunately he didn't survive. R.I.P Technoblade 🕊 we miss you

its so crazy he had me convinced he was gonna get better because he was so nonchalant about it technoblade never dies

I hope everything gets better Technoblade stay healthy and safe

I thought making an “elbow reveal” joke would be too much, but the man did it himself. Mad respect as always, what a legend.

So glad he had a long RU-vid career so we could see so much content from him and rewatching them over and over doesn’t get dry he really was one of the greatest RU-vidrs Rest in peace techno

Rest in peace techno

This man was this close to losing an arm and still wished everyone a merry christmas. He truly is an incredibly strong person

He made it seem like he was getting better, he didn’t want to scare us even though he knew how bad it was. I’m so sorry Techno. May your soul RIP.

What a legend to still have such a fantastic sense of humor in this situation. Truly inspirational and he is such a strong guy.

Can’t believe it’s been almost 1 year without you the world truly hasn’t been the same you will always and forever be our hero techno rip🕊️

"NOT EVEN CLOSE BABY, TECHNOBLADE NEVER DIES." Was so true in this case.

This man is a legend, He doesn’t even take this seriously, when he’s probably gonna remove a limb. My respect for techno is out of this universe and beyond

His parents are weeping while techno’s still making one arm jokes

The fact that techno is still charismatic and chill shows how confident he is

I love how he still stays happy and positive after all of this painful experience! Get better dude!
